I have been wracking my brain for a while trying to figure out what topic I feel passionate enough about to revisit weekly with new and fresh related posts for this blog. I have been told that I should write about some topic in which I am an expert. The only thing I have realized since my brainstorming began is that I tend to be a semi-expert in a variety of topics at one time or another, then move onto something new. In the process, I perfect whatever project I take on for this brief period of time. To write about all of these topics would be pointless, and make me seem a bit more scattered that I like to think I am. Therefore, I think the most logical topic to blog about would be the one in which I have studied for 5-6 years, hold membership in 3+ related societies, and have multiple intellectual crushes on experts in the same field, many of them dead – Communications!

For a Communication Grad Student (all completed except my thesis – look for it in Communication and Mass Media Complete in your university database come Summer 2013) I must say, indecision and lack of logical articulation relating to concepts surrounding myself come very sparse, contrary to what one might assume. I digress.

Welcome to my new blog – Cultivated Communication Connoisseur! Stay tuned – next blog I will excite you with my take on Aristotle’s Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in the 22nd Century and tell you a bit about myself too!

Masters Thesis Completion & Grandpa’s would-be 100th Birthday!

The Submission, Defense, and acceptance of my M.S. thesis to be presented at the 100th anniversary of NCA.April 24th, 2014

The big day is here! Today marks the would-be 100th birthday of my Grandfather who passed away in 2012. He saw my graduation pictures when I "walked" in May 2012 for my Masters degree, but passed away before I officially completed. After some major life changes, I was sidetracked. This is something he would be so proud of, and so it will be completed, presented (defended), and submitted for acceptance to the National Communication Association's 100th Anniversary Conference by his would-be 100th birthday! #Motivation
